hare shajar na sahi khushk ghas rahne do
zamin ke jism pe koi libas rahne do

main zindagi ki kadi dhup mein akela hun
fareb-e-abr mere aas-pas rahne do

aziyyaten hi mohabbat ki ruh hoti hain
mere wajud mein itni si aas rahne do

koi kiran meri ummid ki nahin baqi
mere khayalon mein taswir-e-yas rahne do

hamari pyas kabhi to koi bujhaega
larazte hathon mein khali gilas rahne do

main ek gulshan-e-be-rang hun khuda ke liye
meri faza mein umidon ki bas rahne do
